I ordered a iPhone 7 32gb from T-Mobile and have noticed that the battery life compared to my iPhone 6s has been very poor. The phone will not last a day just in standby mode. Also when i watch videos (primary Youtube) the phone gets very warm and the battery drains fast.

I thought the iPhone 7 was supposed to have improved battery life. Is anyone else having these issues or do I have a defective phone?

It could be a faulty phone yes.
Before messing around restoring it and setting up as a new phone etc to try and fix the problem try this simple test ..
Make a note of the battery percentage (as long as it's not 100%) then switch it off for 5 hours, then check if it has drained. If it drains almost 10% switched off you have faulty hardware in your phone and you need to get it replaced.
If it doesn't drain while it's switched off try a dfu restore and set it up as a new phone not from a backup
Cheers
 
Yes, sorry I have been reading so much 6s lately on this forum. I refused to take 7 and I needed urgently so I paid the difference amount.
